Hi all,
Twinkle could not be more different to Daisy Boo regarding food. Daisy Boo has always been fussy and a really slow eater. Twinkle cries when she know the food is being prepared, dives into the bowl and eats without breathing resulting in 5 minutes of burping (which can be very funny). Needless to say, I have to feed them separately or Twinkle would have the lot. I saw a programme called the dog listener last week and she mentioned that a dog will never fully trust you to feed it again. I find this hard to believe but it kind if rings true for Twinkle.
She has been like this since the day she came home and I'm wondering how I can calm her down a bit. We have tried getting her to sit and wait but she just dives in as soon as the bowl goes down. Last night she ate her food so fast that she had caught up with me as I put Daisy Boo's food down and she just dived in :roll: She gets her normal rations and I bulk it up with good stuff like veggies but I get the impression she would eat and eat and never be full.
Has this happened with anybody else and will she possibly grow out of it?
Thanks,
Joanna
